Cross off another artist off my bucket list! It's been a lifelong dream of mine to get to see Billy Joel one day and I got to do it finally! If you follow Billy Joel you will know that it's rare that he ever tours in western North America so when I saw that he was coming to for a one off date in Seattle, Washington I had to go. Two things:

1. Billy Joel did not disappoint! 2. Safeco Field is absolutely stunning on clear night! What a show!

Joel's longtime band really put their all into the show and really were awesome. Billy Joel even had his roadie come out and sing their version of AC/DC's hit song "Back in Black"....

What can I say Billy Joel pretty well knocked the socks off the whole audience. The show was completely sold out and the audience, for the most part, was enjoying his disdain of Donald Trump via his song "The Entertainer".

The BandAll the songs done perfectly and loved the fact that Billy Joel stepped aside to allow his roadie sing a pretty good version of "Back in Black" with his band.

The Crowd:Excellent crowd and very friendly. Most of the crowd enjoyed the show on a very nice summer evening with the Safeco Field roof completely open.
